That's an interesting question. I've had a lot of fun by approaching it from a completely different direction. There's a tendency for pubs and restaurants in many european countries to specialize in one or a few beers and wines. So I take advantage of that fact by seeking out new places for dining and imbibing every day. No repeats unless the result was so good it demands a repeat. Consequently dining and imbibing is always a surprise that 9 out of 10 times is very pleasant.
I still have pleasant memories of an italian-austrian restaurant we stumbled across in Vienna. With no fixed plans for dinner we used crowd theory to pick a restaurant that also had an attractive menu. Dinner was a delight and the accompanying Hefe Weizen was one of the best I'd ever had.

Lucky you! Slovenia is a pleasant country with stunning nature and an interesting beer scene (as long as you stay away from the likes of Union Pivo and other industrial crap).
The best known resource for adresses to known Slovenian brewpubs and microbreweries are at
